So, you’ve splurged on the $3,500 Apple Vision Pro, excited to immerse yourself in spatial computing while enjoying a discreet vape session. However, the reality might not align with your expectations.
Uncanny Personas and Digital Avatars
The Apple Vision Pro creates digital avatars, known as “personas,” for FaceTime video calls. These avatars, intended to represent users’ faces, have been criticized for their uncanny appearance and unflattering portrayal. Despite an update to improve their aesthetics, they still fall short of expectations, residing uncomfortably in the uncanny valley.
Unexpected Realizations
You might have assumed that these digital avatars would offer a convenient cover for your vaping sessions during video calls. However, my friend’s firsthand experience with the Apple Vision Pro during a FaceTime call revealed otherwise.
The White Blob Mystery
During the call, a peculiar phenomenon caught my attention — a fuzzy white blob repeatedly appeared over my friend’s mouth at specific intervals when he wasn’t speaking. Initially, I mistook it for a puff of vapor from his vape. However, upon further investigation, it became evident that the white blob wasn’t exclusive to vaping.
Misconceptions Debunked
Contrary to popular belief, the white blob isn’t a depiction of vape smoke. Instead, it appears whenever anything obstructs the mouth, be it a hand gesture or a glass while taking a sip of water. This realization shattered the illusion of discreet vaping while engaged in spatial computing.
Conclusion: No Sneaky Vaping Sessions
If you were entertaining the idea of surreptitiously indulging in a few vape puffs during your spatial computing sessions with the Apple Vision Pro, think again. The telltale white blob effectively thwarts any attempts at discreet vaping, ensuring that your covert activities don’t go unnoticed.
